They're out there, I tell you!

I've studied physics, learned several languages, ran marathons, and written a novel. And while I can easily say that I did better than average at everything I've done, it's mostly because most people (Americans at least) don't do those those things. Among people that study and have studied physics, I'm afraid that I look rather pathetic, I can no longer remember way to much of it. Among those that learn languages, I mostly just talk to myself (who I can usually understand). Among those that run marathons, my times still haven't even come close to qualifying for Boston. I have been searching my whole life (so far) trying to figure out what success really means. I know I'm pretty darn amazing, I just haven't figured out where yet.

As I've taken up writing, I think I've realized that most of have trouble being amazing. I think most of us usually fail and many don't even realize it (or try and hide it). I think there is far too many people who don't realize that they are amazing, and far too many others who like to brag about what they think is amazing about them, which really isn't. I like to blame the Illuminati for this, mostly because it's fun.

Imagine what it would be like if someone from the Illuminati wanted to sell you hair gel. They would obviously want you to believe that your appearance, and your hair in particular, was the most important thing about you. What if someone from the Illuminati wanted to sell you a gym membership? I think I can almost convince you that this is they way things are already done. It might get scary if I tried too hard to convince you.

So what can one do when the Illuminati have infiltrated so deeply into our society that even our politicians are conspiring against us?

I'm glad you asked, because I have something I want to sell you :).

But seriously, whether or not you've read my book, I'd love to hear from you. I'd love to hear you have fun with this idea and play with it. Knowing that you were destined for greatness, tell me how you've been thwarted by this evil Illuminati? And if you like, tell me how you think we can end this awful tyranny?
